! Haha, I LOVE it. My kids are the exact same way. They just loooove their corn dogs, hot dogs, junk food anything. They don't appreciate all that healthy food I make them. Man, those pop-tarts look AMAZING!!! 8 lessons in one day? Wow. That takes a lot of patience. I've been thinking of putting Isaiah in piano lessons, but he's not quite 6 yet. I wonder if I should wait a year, or wait until he shows personal interest in wanting to make music.

More meal prep time=less pleasure and Less meal prep time=giddy kids.
